Chapter 52 Black Market



"Yeah," Deng Xiaomei nodded and said.

After Deng Qingling left, Deng Xiaomei discussed with her mother-in-law Liang Jinjie where to put the things after buying them and how to deal with them.

Sister Liang Jin said to take the meat home first and hide the rest deep in the bamboo forest and move them at night.

Deng Xiaomei also thought this was a good idea. It would take how long for the two of them to move so many things in broad daylight. It would be better to wait until night and ask a few men in the family to move them, which would be safer.

Ever since the last transaction with Deng Qingling, Deng Xiaomei has kept a large amount of cash at home, fearing that Deng Qingling would suddenly come to her house and she would have no money when she wanted to trade. Fortunately, she had foresight, otherwise she would not be able to come up with so much money suddenly.

Speaking of Deng Qingling, she walked into the bamboo forest and took the things out of the space.

Seeing that they hadn't arrived yet, he took out some melon seeds from the space, sat on the stone and slowly ate them. The more he ate, the more addicted he became.

When Deng Qingling vomited all over the ground with melon seed shells, Deng Xiaomei and the others came. Seeing them coming, Deng Qingling quickly stood up and brushed the dust off her butt.

"Auntie, Sister Xiaomei's things are all here. Each bag of rice and flour weighs 100 kilograms. Each pig weighs 50 kilograms, and each chicken weighs 2 kilograms. Ten chickens weigh about 5 kilograms each, no more, no less. You can weigh them."

"No, no, we trust you." Sister Liang Jin waved her hand and said.

The goods were weighed last time and it was indeed just enough. Besides, you can tell how many kilograms they are at a glance.

"Thank you for your trust. By the way, how are we going to move the things back if you don't bring a cart?" Deng Qingling was a little puzzled when she saw that they only brought sacks but no cart.

"Let's take the meat back first, hide the rest, and move it back in the evening," said Deng Xiaomei.

"Oh, so that's how it is." Deng Qingling understood.

"Here, ten, twenty, thirty, fifty, one hundred... one thousand, one thousand nine hundred and ten." Deng Xiaomei counted the money and handed it to Deng Qingling.

Deng Qingling was also reciting in her heart.

"Count again." Deng Xiaomei said.

"No need, I'm watching you count! The amount is correct." Deng Qingling said as she put the money into her bag, actually into the space.

"Aqing, help me hide these."

"Okay," Deng Qingling nodded and said.

Deng Qingling and Deng Xiaomei moved the rice and flour behind the big rock together, while Liang Jinjie was responsible for keeping watch.

The move was completed quickly, and then covered with bamboo shells and branches.

"Aqing, here are fifteen sacks. Please put them away." Deng Xiaomei handed a large roll of sacks to Deng Qingling.

"Yeah." Deng Qingling took the sack and put it in the backpack.

"Let's go back to my house for dinner. It's still early!" Deng Xiaomei looked at her watch and invited Deng Qingling to go home for dinner.

"Okay, let me help you carry some of these!" Deng Qingling said as she bent down to help take some.

"No, no, we can carry it." The two refused her help.

Deng Xiaomei and Liang Jinjie were carrying pork and chicken respectively, walking forward with their backs bent.

Arriving at the gate of the family quarters, Deng Qingling saw that it was still early and wanted to go for a walk. She had been to the county town twice but had never wandered around!

"Sister Xiaomei, you guys go home first! I'll be back soon after I go shopping."

"Ah? Do you know the way? Do you want me to go with you?" Deng Xiaomei asked.

The county town is quite large. My cousin has only been here twice. How could she get lost? She was notoriously bad at finding her way when she was little.

"No, no, I remember how to get there. Besides, if I don't remember the way, I can ask! The way is right at my fingertips. How can I, an adult, not know how to ask for directions?" Deng Qingling felt embarrassed when she thought about it. When the original owner was a child, he didn't know what to do when he went out and he often got lost.

"By the way, sister, do you know where the black market is?" Deng Qingling leaned over and asked in a low voice in Deng Xiaomei's ear.

Deng Xiaomei was shocked by her words. How dare she go to the black market when she wasn't even familiar with the road? I don't know if it's better to say she's brave or kind.

"You are so bold!"

"Don't worry, sister. I will be back soon. Just tell me." Deng Qingling said.

"After crossing the bridge, look towards the willow trees and walk along the river. There are several large courtyards there. That black market is pretty good. They never cheat on each other."

Deng Xiaomei said worriedly: "Be careful! Come back soon."

"I understand. Sister, you go back first. I'll be back soon." Deng Qingling said and left without looking back.

On the way, he used a sack as a cover and put five watches and ten kilograms of rice and ten kilograms of flour into the backpack.

When she got there, Deng Qingling did not rush in, but observed the surrounding area and looked at the road. If there was any situation, she would need to know the direction to run.

As soon as Deng Qingling reached the intersection, Fat Bear spoke up, "What are you doing here? Are you here to buy or sell something?"

He had noticed this man early in the morning, sneaking around nearby, and wondered if he was a good person.

Just kidding, Fat Bear is famous for his sharp eyes, otherwise he wouldn't be able to keep watch here.

"Come here to sell some things." Deng Qingling said. He knew at a glance that this man was a lookout. Anyone who could guard the checkpoint must be a confidant of the black market tycoon. Thinking of this, he immediately showed his watch.

Fat Bear was a very shrewd man. He immediately thought that anyone who could take out several watches at once must have a lot of good things.

Thinking of this, Fat Bear's face was full of smiles, and his eyes narrowed when he smiled.

"Sister, come in quickly, I'll take you to see our boss. Sister, you're right to come to us. We are absolutely safe, the price is fair, and we are honest."

Are you sure you mean the black market?

If this eloquence were to happen in modern times, he would definitely be a sales champion.

Deng Qingling was a little nervous at first, thinking that she was taking too much risk. Coming alone to sell such a valuable item was simply courting death. It seemed that Sister Xiaomei was right, this was a good place.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw a middle-aged man in a gray robe and gold-rimmed glasses enjoying tea in the room.

Wu Ye gestured for her to sit down and poured her a cup of tea.

How could Deng Qingling dare to drink something from a stranger? She went straight to the point and put the watch and rice noodles on the table.

People in this business have sharp eyes and can tell that something is good the moment they take it out.

Wu Ye picked up the watch, looked at it and said, "This is a Shanghai Diamond watch. It's a good thing!"

Then he looked at the rice and flour. They were white, long and full, and were rare rice and flour.

"Little sister, I wonder how many of these goods you have?"

"As for the goods, I have some, but I don't know the price." Deng Qingling said.

Wu Ye asked, "I'll give you 180 yuan for the watch and two yuan for the rice and flour. What do you think?"

"Okay, I'll sell these to you first. I'll go inform my companions later." Deng Qingling agreed readily.

"Fat Bear."

"Here it is, a total of 940 yuan, please count it." Fat Bear counted it in a few seconds and handed the money to Deng Qingling.
